Workshop Outline:

\n

Pregnancy Awareness\nA woman’s physical\, mental and emotional health can greatly im
pact her pregnancy and birth process. Maintaining or improving health can
have a significant impact on both mother and baby. With a proper health pl
an in place\, you may be able to avoid potential complications and interve
ntions throughout your pregnancy. This unit also focuses on the importance
of connecting with your baby throughout your pregnancy\, and becoming in
tune with your body.

Thoughtful Decisions\, Birth Choices
& Goals\nMaking thoughtful decisions can help parents feel
empowered\, ensure their wishes and goals are respected and bring them a s
ense of peace and satisfaction with the birth experience. This unit is dev
oted to educating parents on ways they can be involved in the decision-mak
ing process and work with their care providers to achieve the birth they d
esire.

\n

Labour & Birth Education\nUnderstand
ing the birth process and the normal variations that can occur during labo
ur and birth\, will help ease any fears or anxiety parents may harbour and
will encourage a positive experience. Our theory is that by educating mot
hers to be aware of the normal hormonal and physical changes taking place
in her body\, she will be empowered to work with her body in bringing fort
h her baby.

\n

Comfort Measures\nLabour is oft
en in intense and lengthy process that without the proper understanding\,
support\, and comfort tools\, can easily overwhelm a woman. There are many
natural ways to find comfort\, which we will explore in this unit. A woma
n who has identified and practiced her most useful comfort tools will like
ly have a far easier time utilizing and benefiting from them during her la
bour.
